processes and administrative work,
and is characterized by hierarchy in
which the power of a leader depends
on the position one stands for.

council or organization is
merely for names sake. You
treat leadership as a mere extra-
curricular activity to add to
their resume.

leadership then is
beneficial and
significant?

Rooted in the objective

interests of our
constituents, who are
the students.

LEADERSHI

Philippine educational system and the Philippine
society at large.
